Criminal who bilked U.S. Navy veterans got off easy

When 67-year-old Harvard-educated lawyer John Donald Cody, aka Bobby Thompson, was convicted in Cleveland a few days ago and put away for 28 years, one major mistake was made.

The law should have been changed. He should have been handed over to a military court. The unconscionable heinous scam that this piece of vermin ran against thousands of U.S. Navy veterans for hundreds of millions of dollars for over 10 years caused untold human misery and financial ruin.

He deserved a military trial, prosecution and justice. Then, if the military saw fit to execute him - so be it. He would not have to be a burden for taxpayers to keep for the remainder of his miserable life.
